shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Black people don't report crimes to the police, especially the NYPD, for reasons that I have shared on here many times. But in the event of a hate crime murder? The victim usually has no choice to not report. Others report the body. And in New York, ~10X more Black people die in hate crime attacks

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Yup, I have two kids. I cook on Sundays for the whole week. My younger one started preschool. I have to pack her lunches & snacks as well. It took me 6 weeks to figure out how much extra food I need to cook. They have also been getting sick. Then I have to switch to what their bellies can tolerate.
